| 335751 | 2005-03-19 07:48:00 | Hi Guys, Had a DVD player in my mates PC, but everytime we played a DVD it would skip. Now I put a newer one in which I had at home, and it does the same thing. The machine specs are XP2800, ASUS A7V600-X, 512MB DDR400RAM, FX5200... 120GB Seagate SATA on channel 1 The software running it on is Windows 2000, and both the Nero Showtime, and windows DVD player skip... The DVD is sharing IDE channel 0, as a slave to a CDRW.... Cheers hamstar |

| 335753 | 2005-03-19 08:47:00 | Indeed, a DVD writer should be master to a CD-RW | Edward (31) | ||
| 335754 | 2005-03-19 11:03:00 | hmm if the master drive is a SATA drive then the DVD could be master on IDE 1 , CDRW master on IDE 2 Not much experience c ASUS boards - however shouldn't the SATA drive [ if alone ] be plugged into SATA 0 slot on the mobo ?? [ That's how it is on Gigabyte boards ...] :@@: |

| 335755 | 2005-03-19 15:15:00 | Is DMA enabled? It'll be fine wherever it is on the IDE Channels, just make sure DMA is enabled :) |

| 335756 | 2005-03-20 11:41:00 | its a dvd drive only, and i thort it would be fine being slave too, DMA should be enabled, where do I check that again? and the DVD drive skips while playing movies, yes. We tried spiderman two, and it started skipping at scene 3, would progress like a frame every few seconds, tried the spiderman one, and it was fine at scene 3/4. So changed to the newer drive anyway cos i thort it was some kind of pirate protection but played through scene 3 only to skip later on in the movie... ghey... maybe I should just get it on divx, stupid DVD's and the pirate protection crap... pirate protection makes pirates.... (time to change sig) |
